Valentin Delluc Mont Blanc Moonline

The video of speedrider Valentin Delluc making a night flight above the Bossons glacier in the Mont Blanc massif.

Pioneering French speedrider Valentin Delluc managed to make a dream come true and combined not paragliding and freeride skiing with an audacious drop, but also with a night flight illuminated with LED lights installed on his wing. The 25-year-old chose an excellent "terrain d’aventure", namely the Bossons glacier at the foot of Mont Blanc.

Delluc launched at 4 am from Col du Midi and then dipped and dived past the rugged crevasses, landing four minutes and twenty seconds later down at Les Bossons, the small hamlet close to Chamonix. NB for those with an eye for details: some scenes were filmed at Avoriaz.
